Thanks for the replies. I did not have Mode32 installed (does that run on an SE anyway ?).
What is stored in the PRAM ? Anything like a PC bios ? I have now checked my limited stock of floppies, not a bootable disk between them ! Gamba, are you saying that maybe my Harddisk is damaged in some way ? Bad sectors perhaps, maybe that would explain the crash on installation. Any UK lists members here that could sell me a set of bootable 800k disks ?
